II. Finance Committee (FC)
A.
Review March Financials
Alan reviewed March financial reports detailed in the agenda, noting expense items with material variances from budget, and described the functions of the balance sheet and disbursement registers for approval by the Board. Matt of JGP answered various questions about financial results.
No vote was taken, as none is required of the Finance Committee.
B.
Discuss 5-year forecast
Alan discussed a graphical summary of the 5-year forecast, noting the decrease in revenue from 2023-24 to 2024-25 as attributable to enrollment and the presence of certain grants in 2023-24 that are not currently expected to recur in 2024-25.
No vote was taken, as none is required of the Finance Committee.
III. Closing Items
A.
Establish recurring Finance Committee meeting times
Alan proposed, and the committee agreed, to Finance Committee meetings occurring three working days prior to regular monthly Board meetings, so long as the date occurs later than the accounting close (which requires 9 working days). When less than three days fall between the accounting close and the Board meeting, the Finance Committee meeting will be delayed to facilitate the close.
B.
Adjourn Meeting
Following adjournment, a review of the financials was provided by Alan and Matt for the benefit of those unable to access the meeting from the beginning, and unable to access document links.
